Props :)

In our opening scene we used several props to make our scene seem more realistic. we had to make sure there wasnt any continuity errors when it came to using the props and locations. One prop that we used was the NBC army kit,

It is usually used in nuclear, biological and chemical training for soldiers that pass through chetwynd barracks, we gained permission to use the equipment and outfits in the hanger area. We found them hanging up on loads of coat hangers along one wall and we decided that it would look really good as we needed some characters to look like army personel in the end we only used a few of the clips that we filmed of people in the NBC equipment.

Another prop that we used is the fake blood and injuries,

This equipment is usually used to train soldiers in first aid on the battlefield, we gained permission from the training staff who use the equipment to use it for our media practical project and we also got one of the training staff to apply it to the character, the image above is only a picture of the fake blood but there was other equipment used in the end we only used a couple of quick, snappy clips of the character with fake blood on their face to add more tension. we also used the fake blood to spray up walls which could add more tension to the scene we also gained permission to do that. below are a few pictures of where we sprayed it.

we also used a couple of plastic fake guns for the army characters to use to make it seem more realistic but we ended up not using those clips in our final edited clip.

We used this 4x4 several times whilst we were filming in the hanger, it is used usually to simulate a car crash, which is useful to us as at one point we needed to be able to film in a vehicle that we could possibly put fake blood in as part of the scene, we got permission off of one of the high-ranking people that live on the barracks to use this as a location. there are several possible safety risks such as the condition of the vehicle itself and a trip hazard that you can't see in the images but that we accounted for when filming by marking it out. we ended up not using the shots of the vehicle.
